If you are asking about what exactly is a hosting control panel, there is a very simple answer to this question. A hosting control panel is a web-based interface that allows users to manage their hosted services in a single place. There are features that most of the control panels have in common and these are:
Web server administration
Database administration
DNS management
Email management
FTP management
Access to server logs
Web space and bandwidth usage
However, there are features specific to a control panel and you may end up with choosing a wrong control panel if you are not familiar with it. Read below and you may find the information you need in order to choose the right control panel for your requirements.
First of all, when choosing a control panel for your web hosting needs you may be interested which programming languages are used for the control panel’s frontend and its backend, what services are supported etc. For that reason, we created the table below. The hosting control panels are not listed in any particular order. They are neither alphabetically-ordered nor based on quality. Purely random. All of them are great with their own set of quality features.

As you can see in the table, we compared a few web hosting control panels which we assume are one of the best open source hosting panels at the moment. All of them are free of charge and support the basic services that you may need for running a website. Therefore, if you have a website that doesn’t have specific requirements, all of these control panels should do the work.
However, if you are looking for a specific feature, you can read through carefully. We reviewed each of these hosting control panels and you can find the notes below.
